Constantin Braun, the MVP of last season's DEL Playoffs, has announced that he will take some time off to deal with personal problems.

He says, that he is "in a personal crisis situation that he cannot manage without professional help."
This puts his refusal to play in the World Championships somewhat in perspective, I think and it's yet another example how big of a problem depression is these day, not only in sports but everywhere.
I hope he finds the help he needs and gets over whatever it is that is causing this.
